😇Changes And My Strengths😇

The changes I've made while being at camp Raglan!

The changes I realised I had gained during the time I was at camp was that, I was able to create new friends, help others realise there is more to life then just hanging out with the same people.. and also helping people give there all at any activity that is being thrown at them. By the end of the camp journey we had been through, I've realised I've changed as a friend, daughter, and family member for the better. By saying this I mean.. I feel like being away from my family to help create a stronger bond with my school peers, haven't just helped for me to create a bond with my friends at school but also to help me create a stronger bond with my family.. and also my friends outside of school. I've changed a lot from negative to positive, bad to good, and every other change I've made for the better!

😃Camp Poetry😃

I am learning to write a poem based on DINNER time at Camp Raglan

CAMP POETRY

This poem will be mainly talking, and also be describing Dinner Time, at Camp Raglan. I've decided to write about Dinner, because mainly when you think of dinner the only thought that comes to your head is well saying GRACE, and eating FOOD.. but more happened at Camp Raglan when Dinner time came around. Not only did we say Grace, and also not only did we eat our food.. but more adventures came along...

My Poem...

Food,

Noisy, Delicious,

Eating, Talking, Laughing,

Phenomenal, Entertainment,

DINNER

What I'm trying to say in this poem, is that we didn't only learn more about each other while being outdoors, we could also learn more about each other.. while having meal times.. Especially DINNER TIME. When we have dinner time at Camp Raglan, I learnt some new things based on my friends.. for example I learnt what they enjoyed the most during the time they had at camp that they, thier highlights.. and lowlights.. and also what they would like to look forward in achieving while being at Camp Raglan. Dinner time was one of my favouirte meals.. because that was basically the time where you could have the opportunity to share your thoughts about the day you had.. and also the opportunity to open up to one another.

😊Camp Raglan 6 Tasks😊

I am learning to complete the 6 hats for my camp experince!

Here is a blog spot.. about the 6 hats. In each hat there are several questions that will be asked related to camp. The 6 hats each have a different colour for each of them. For example their is a ..

• White Hat
• Red Hat
• Black Hat
• Yellow Hat
• Green Hat
• Blue Hat

All these hats represent something. My goal is to use the 6 hats to critically reflect on my first day (Tuesday) at Camp Raglan. Below this you will find my 6 hats completed below.. which would be based and related towards my Camp Raglan experince.. on the first day which was Tuesday.

WHITE HAT:

Who is here?

Myself, and also my year 7/8 peers, along with the teachers and parents of specific students.

Where are we?

Camp Raglan

Why did we come here?

To help the most of the 7/8 students create a stronger bond with one another.. and also to help each other make more friends, and better relationships.

How did we get here?

Travelling by BUS!

BLACK HAT:

Why do we need to be careful while we are here?

The most important reason for my eyes why we need to be careful while being at Camp Raglan, is basically because no parent of a child wants their child coming home early.. based on serious body damage.. or very bad injuries.

RED HAT:

How are you feeling now that you are finally here? Why?

Amazed, to have been able to see the view and also to finally see the place we were staying at!

YELLOW HAT:

What are you most excited to try?

I am most excited to try, because I had the ability to think about the positive things that could happen if I did try, and also because I learnt on the first nothing is impossible.

GREEN HAT:

What fears/goals are you determined to overcome this camp? How do you think you will do this?

I am determined to achieve the goal, of being able to work as a team and create a stronger bond with most of my peers. I think I will do this by spending more time with each other.. and encouraging more people to give things a go.

BLUE HAT:

What is one goal you have for yourself during camp?

The one goal I have for myself to achieve personally during the time at camp, is for me to have a stronger relationship with my peers.. and to be closer with one another.

🤗Technology RETURN🤗

I am learning to reflect on Technology

😊"TECHNOLOGY RETURN"😏

After being away from Technology for 2 weeks, due to sports day.. and also to camp we've all made a phenomenal return to Technology! And back to work at Tamaki College we go!! Being away from Technology has helped me lose focus.. which isn't something to always be proud of.. like in this case! So to help myself gain my focus I basically just retraced what I did to find, where I am. Re-tracing my steps has helped me remember where I am at.. for example I can now... finish of where I lefted off before leaving for my 2 week educational holiday. I am still in the process of filing, slowly on my way to the sandpaper process. Basically with filing... you get given your Pewter Casting.. and you basically file it straight. So you get many different files.. Below will be  video provided with all the tools and also with the process of making the pewter creation. This video will also be showing you how Tamaki College creates, and makes the pewter creation. This video firstly helped myself to realise, and also to learn what the names of the tools we would be using, and also to memorize the steps in the process of making this "Pewter Casting". The creation for my "Pewter Casting", I choose to create a cross. This cross will represent several things.. The love I have for god, The respect I have for god, and also the dedication and time, I put into god. The main reason behind me crossing to create a cross for myself was because I wanted to show everyone God is a huge important part of life, and also without him life wouldn't be the same. 

Overall after being away for 2 whole weeks.. Coming back to get back to work was a quite a bit of work. Mainly because we've been away for a bit of time, and missed a lot in the time of us leaving. The most enjoying part I found while being at Technology, at Tamaki College today was being able to remember, where I left.. and also being able to come back and be able to have the ability to focus on my "Pewter Casting".

Here is the video that was firstly provided at the beginning of sessions we were having with Mr.Grundy which was the "Hard Materials" class. During the making, and watching of this video will be showing you.. the names of the tools and steps you need to follow in order to create the "Pewter Casting".. well the way of Mr.Grundy.. at Tamaki Colleges way.

Above this text, you will find a image. The image provided above is basically a image, of the tools we use to help file our "Pewter Castings" straight. For example these specific tools, is what I'm in the process of using to help straighten up my "Pewter Casting".

Thank you for viewing, and for also reading my Technology Reflection. Hopefully you've enjoyed reading this.. and this has entertained you heaps!
